Present situation of vocational education
Secondary vocational schools must recruit students who graduated from junior high schools, and technical schools can recruit social students. In the past, when the country did not limit the number of students enrolled in ordinary high schools, it was difficult for vocational schools to recruit students, and there was often competition for students. Because parents think that only hopeless children will go to vocational schools, only a few junior high school graduates will choose to go to vocational schools every year.
Now the state gradually attaches importance to vocational education and limits the number of students enrolled in ordinary high schools. Moreover, vocational schools do not have to pay tuition fees, books are free, and accommodation is free. In recent years, the number of students in many vocational and technical schools has greatly increased.
The prospect of vocational education
When it comes to the prospect of vocational education, in recent years, it is difficult for college students to find jobs and it is difficult for enterprises to recruit people, which has formed an obvious contrast. College students are theoretical talents, and enterprises need technical talents. This is why China should make greater efforts to train skilled craftsmen.
In addition to training technicians, vocational schools have also increased the training of many social skills, such as migrant workers and laid-off workers.
Indeed, there are still many shortcomings in vocational education in China, such as the shortage of trainee teachers and backward teaching facilities. However, with the support of the state and the efforts of several generations of vocational educators, these problems are decreasing bit by bit. Many people may say that the employment rate of vocational education graduates is false, but we have to admit that there is a shortage of skilled workers in China. Therefore, if students have practical ability and skills, they can find a good job. ?
In real time, Bruce Lee (pseudonym), a technical secondary school student, was hired as an associate professor by the school. The news should have been known a while ago. Because he won the gold medal in the world-class technical competition. He is only 20 years old. The position of "associate professor" is beyond the reach of many teachers who have worked hard all their lives.
Present situation of vocational education at home and abroad
Germany is rated as the most successful country in vocational education in the world, and it is also the object of study in China.
In Germany, educators believe that people can be divided into theoretical talents and skilled talents. In primary school, teachers will observe what kind of talents each student belongs to. After graduating from primary school, the teacher will give each student's parents a written opinion about their children to help parents and children choose a more suitable education model. Under the education of Germany, primary school students will also have the reading skills that some ordinary high school students or some junior high school students have. In Germany, white-collar workers, blue-collar workers and workers are all respected. The wages of white-collar workers and blue-collar workers are even the same.
Do we think that China's vocational education is inferior to that of foreign countries? Indeed. But I want to know that the development and construction of the country needs talents from all walks of life, especially technical talents.
At present, the planning of vocational education is secondary vocational education, higher vocational education, applied undergraduate, postgraduate, intermediate technical school and senior technical school. These channels will go hand in hand with ordinary colleges and universities in the near future. Therefore, future technical talents will gain a higher social status.
